If an Apple-developed server SOC was put into wide use internally for sustainability reasons, wouldn’t Apple be morally obligated to open source such a design?

If an Apple-developed server SOC was put into wide use internally for sustainability reasons, wouldn’t Apple be morally obligated to open source such a design? It seems like a possible conflict if it had tech otherwise proprietary to the A series.

where would this moral obligation or possible conflict come from?

  Reading the comment again, I understand the possible conflict (they wouldn't open source proprietary designs), but still not the moral obligation.
